  1. Overstaying your  date in your passport is breaking the law.

     

    Many times on here people ask is it ok to overstay - 1, 2, 5 days etc. The fine at the immigration exit desk is 500 baht per day of overstay. Some immigration officers will waive the fine if it is only 1 day, but you’ll still get a red stamp in your passport.

     

    HoweVer if you are stopped inside the country for any reason - like at a police check point - even on your way to airport or border crossing then be prepared for a whole lot of trouble. 

     

    The police may arrest you as you have broken the law. If they do you’ll be fined in court and then sent to the nearest Immigration Detention Centre, where you will be kept until you buy a one way ticket back to your home country. If you don’t have the funds for that you will be kept there until you find some means of raising those funds. Once you have your ticket, you will be deported and blacklisted from entering the country for up to 5 years.

     

    Sounds dramatic but it sometimes happens. 500 baht a day sounds cheaper than 1900 baht at a local immigration office but in the overall scheme of things it is never wise to overstay.

  2. If you are in reasonable Good health then the 6 months should not be a problem for you by the time you come home and sorted out a GP and registered at a dental clinic the 6 months will fly by if you don’t have an income (pensions) I’m sure you can claim benefits should you need to good luck and welcome home 

  3. Qantas needs to be careful with banning people from using their planes because of Coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine. If this vaccine is not made mandatory worldwide then I can see Human Rights issues coming into play and unless every airline has the same attitude then people will choose to fly with another airline 

     

    And I believe the same applies to individual countries if this vaccine is not mandatory worldwide then people will choose other countries to visit if Thailand makes having this vaccine as a condition of entry then people will spend their money somewhere else
